The Guild Wars 2 Thread

[Hoaxmetal]

I think that custom chat channel (if they're/will be available) will be much better than a codex guild, seems like there are 1-2 codexers per server :D

So this Saturday, 7pm - Early Access (for me this is the correct time, in Hobbiton, New Zealand - can't speak for the rest of the world) : who's in?

Human Guardian with a Female Asura Warrior to kick things off.

That's 4 am to me. Going with a norn warrior but first going to reserve my name plus anything witty I can think of before the game goes online. Also, remember they may open the servers 3 hours early.

What is the NA server again?

Yak's Bend although it was full when I tried to join it during the stress test yesterday.

this is the one we run with GF

I see. That's the server I played on the stress tests and yeah, it's p. full but at least it seems to do well on WvW.

Gonna grab a bunch of alt names. First character will probably be a sylvari elementalist, charr engineer or norn necromancer

Alright, broke down and bought it. Still not keen on the changes but if turns out to be popamole then I suppose ArenaNet deserves the $60 this once because GW1 was such a ridiculously good deal.

Is it true that there is no way to play cross continent?

Depends on what you mean.

You can play on any server from any region, i freely jumped between Desolation (EU) and Yak's Bend (NA) all the time. BUT you can only log from the region you bought the game. So if your game is EU but you suddenly move to kwa you won't be able to login unless you use a proxy.

 

[Average Manatee]

wat

What does the location you log in from have to do with anything? Not that I'm planning on abandoning FREEDOMLAND anytime soon, but that's pretty stupid. Especially compared to how well GW1 was set up.

If you can simply switch districts to play with people from other regions like in GW1 I'm OK though.

 

[Excidium]

It's to force the eurofags to buy their version, I guess. Or something.

[Mangoose]

Does the beta client work for retail or does the retail release need to be downloaded and installed?

 

[Berekän]

It works for retail, you'll just have to update.

 

[Whisper]

Game looks awesome. Also original races.

 

[Whisper]

Also thread lenght is similar of those of Diablo 3. I wonder why masses fall for such games, maybe its not devs, they just provide what masses want? You generic fantaZy setting with touch of anime and plot worthy of 12 year old storyteller.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

No U

 

[Whisper]

Speak human, please.

 

[SuicideBunny]

nobody plays gw1 or 2 for plot/setting. people play it for gameplay despite plot/setting.

 

[Whisper]

That's what they told me when i start to talk about of plot/setting of Helllo Kitty Online.

 

[abija]

They probably really wanted to play TSW, got annoyed by the intro, cheap looks and retarded DoF so they settled for GW2. Useless fools not trying to endure clunky boring combat just to revel in the depth of the... combat skills.

You know what's actually really retarded? To come on a thread where people played a beta version of the game and post low quality pics to open their eyes about the graphics...

The post was not about graphics.

Was about original setting, original races included.

But ofc you can post your own "high quality" Asura screenshot. Which will be still depicting anime-fag altered Yoda.

better watch out, lest you cut yourself on your own edginess.

Might want to edit "games looks awesome" then.

 

[Whisper]

I dont care about graphics much.

Though for someone who would care - GW2 graphics/art are sub-par and not far in quality from WoW (which graphics were good when it was released, like 10 years ago) would be disappointing.
